Kari Adelberg is happy. She has her friends, family, and a dog. What else could she need? At least that’s what she keeps telling herself, unwilling to think about what she lost until it ends up next door to her. Kacey Caldwell was the one that got away. They were college sweethearts and had plans for the future until Kacey ripped those plans apart with no explanation. Now she and her young daughter own the house next door to Kari’s, and Kari is not sure how to act. Should she keep herself closed off like she has the past ten years or open up her heart at the risk of being hurt all over again? Kari has so many questions that only Kacey has the answers to, but she’s not sure if she’s ready to get them, afraid of the pain and heartbreak that could come along with it. She has to decide the answer to the age-old question: is love worth the risk? A second chance romance filled with love, angst, and one big HEA.

Bailey Caldwell is entering into her senior year of high school and life is good. She adores her moms and her bratty little sister, and since moving to Bellman, has become very popular. Her senior year is sure to hold a lot of excitement given that she is class president and the captain of the track team. With so much on her plate, dating is the last thing on Bailey's mind. What she certainly didn't expect was to fall for another girl. Coming out wouldn't be an issue with her given her family, but this feeling was all new. Bailey had never felt this way toward a girl before. Heck, she had never felt this way toward anyone. But there was something about Emma West that had her completely captivated. Emma's plan when her family was forced to move across the country for her dad's job was to lay low. She was going to get through her senior year and forget about the feelings that had already caused her so many issues. With a pastor for a dad, she had no choice but to find a way to not be gay. That was possible, right? That becomes hard when she meets Bailey Caldwell, Bellman High School's most popular student and the prettiest girl Emma has ever seen. Can she continue to suppress her feelings when she starts spending more time with Bailey? \This is the spin-off to the best selling novel, Twice Upon a Time\
